A remote monitoring system, particularly useful in monitoring the position of a child or Alzheimer's patient, has a first unit including a handheld portable transmitter and receiver; and a second unit including two identical sections, wherein each section is carried in one of a footwear pair, and each section has a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter of the first unit has a selective switch for on-demand transmission of a find signal. The transmitters of the second unit each continuously emits a location signal. The receiver of the first or handheld unit is responsive to one of or both location signals. The handheld unit generates an audible alarm indicating that the person wearing the footwear has gone beyond a preset distance from the first or handheld unit. The receivers of the second unit each receive the find signal generated by the first unit, and in response thereto, actuates a plurality of illuminating devices, such as LEDs in the soles of the footwear as well as actuating an audio alarm from the footwear.
